2016 Ride Engine Metal Slider Bar

Read more on what Ride Engine has to say about the 2016 Ride Engine Metal Slider Bar

PROBLEM SOLVED: Conventional kiteboarding harnesses have a major flaw in how they function, and the Armor harness solves it exceptionally well. Riders are often forced to rotate their harnesses from side to side to get pull from the proper angle when carving upwind, riding toeside or catching waves. That range of motion requires a looseness in the harness that also allows vertical and torsional movement, resulting in rider discomfort, constricted breathing, pull from the wrong angle and a variety of other issues.

With the Armor’s hard-shell Lumbar Lock technology, the harness does not rotate or slide; it locks in place and stays exactly where it should. This means lateral motion must come from the spreader bar. The metal slider bar is a spreader bar, rope and pad system that connects directly with the rider’s chicken loop. This setup is totally unique and provides a smooth and full range of motion, allowing the harness’s lumbar lock technology to work its magic while rider changes angles of attack, carves upwind, rides toeside and slashes waves.

2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kite

Read more on what Cabrinha says about the 2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kite

The 2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kite is a high aspect C-shape kite designed to win freestyle competitions. Proving its capabilities, it carried Liam Whaley to the top of the 2016 Freestyle World Tour Championship ladder. The 2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kite gives you the pop and line slack you need to make unhooked tricks effortlessly. Its advantage over its rivals is its wide wind range. The 2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kites extended suspension lines or C-port lines add support to the leading edge to maintain arc shape and add flight stability.

This ensures torsional freedom and movement to the kite for a stable and supported ride. The 2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kite is tuned for freestyle moves and flies through turns, rather than pivoting through the wing tips, so you can throw a kite loop with the tightest arc possible. Its bar pressure stays light but delivers the right amount of feedback to let you know where the kite is at all times. Customizable steering options offer either quicker turns, or a more stable kite position for handle passes.

2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kite Details

2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kite Rider Profile

For riders that want the highest performing technical kite in our range.

2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kite Design Profile

2017 Cabrinha Chaos Kite Technology

Cabrinha’s exclusive line of high-quality woven fabrics has been designed specifically for kitesurfing. Unlike many of the generic sailcloths available in today’s kites, the Volae materials have been specially developed to our exact specifications. The development process has taken over 5 years to create this dedicated kite material, which delivers the lowest stretch and highest durability on the market.

All Cabrinha kites are designed and built on a Skeletal Frame foundation. We start by placing the most durable, 160 gsm Dacron material into a framework that locks in the intended shape. We then create the canopy shape and profiles with a light weight yet highly durable 53 gsm polyester woven material. We build on the durability of the canopy material with a second layer of 53 gsm two-ply material over the high stress strut sections. Next, we layer into the perimeter a 75 gsm, double ripstop reinforcement material to combat the extreme loads that are placed on the trailing edge and wing tip areas of the kite. Finally, we complete the kite with details such as molded EVA chafe protectors, robust leading edge protectors, and triple row stitching at the high stress inter-segment seams near the center of the kite. We seal it all up with a woven nylon ribbon reinforcement on the leading edge closing seam.

A dynamic arc allows the kite to have two distinct arc shapes. The kite takes on one shape while flying, and another shape while in resting mode on the water. The flying shape occurs as soon as the kite gets airborne and the front lines are under tension. The flying shape is the kite’s intended shape which is optimized for the intended usage. The arc shape is held in place by a simple set of bridling. The dynamic arc shape occurs when the kite is not in flight, such as when the kite is resting on the water in relaunch mode. The dynamic arc allows the kite to open its span and orient the wingtips in a position to facilitate a super quick relaunch.

The Sprint Inflation System with Airlock is the most efficient and easy way to get your kite pumped up. The large one-way Airlock valve quickly feeds air into all of the struts from a single location. The Airlock connection to the Sprint pump now requires no special adapters. Once inflated, you can lock off each strut independently to keep your kite’s rigid frame, and isolate any accidental strut deflation from the rest of the kite. When the session is over, the entire kite will deflate in seconds thanks to the Airlock valve’s large dump feature.

Power Control settings quickly adjust the power level of the kite. Each rear line “pig tail” connector has three power positions which you can connect to. The middle position is the factory recommended position. Create more power by connecting the knot closest to the kite or less power by connecting to the knot closest to the rider.

The layout starts in segmented sections in the design software, but, in-flight its natural shape is a smooth arc. In order to make the transition between segmented and curved, we doubled the aerodynamic control by cutting each canopy panel in half at the center section, providing the ultimate curvature control which is where 90% of the performance comes from. When a kite is clean and smooth it will be faster through the sky giving you a broader range of performance.

We offer multiple tuning options this season which completely change the way a kite flies. These options allow you to customize the feedback and bar pressure, adjust where the kite sits in the window, and balance the power/ de-power range of the kite.

Cabrinha highly recommends testing the different settings for yourself to find out what feels the best to you.

A = The lightest bar pressure and lightest steering initiation.B = Much more feedback, more bar pressure, shortened depower, and more steering impulse to know where the kite is.

The 1X is not a depower system, it is a full blown shut down system. The 1X relies on only one line to immediately shut down the power of the kite whether it be on land or water in all wind conditions.

Low V: We have lowered the front line connection to the CAS in order to provide a more direct and immediate response from your bar input.

1X Security System: The 1X is not a depower system, it is a full blown shut down system. The 1X relies on only one line to immediately shut down the power of the kite whether it be on land or water in all wind conditions.

Depower On Demand: We introduced Depower on Demand in 2005 along with our revolutionary Crossbow kite. Even today, every Cabrinha kite (except the Chaos) incorporates Depower on Demand as the default method to precisely control the power of a kite.

Safety Floats: The EVA ends are buoyant enough to float the entire control system with lines attached. The tips have Flex grooves which aid in bending the tips while winding your lines onto the bar or while steering your kite.

10 Reasons Why you should pick the Fireball option with your next Cabrinha Control Bar

Better Control & Performance - Fireball focuses the feel of your kite directly to your core with minimal friction for a seamless connection between kite and rider.

More Comfortable - The lower-profile connection point between the harness and spreader bar keeps the spreader bar from rotating into your body when the kite is overhead.

Auto Locking Security - No more chickenloop and lock tube. The Fireball is held in place by a locking gate that holds it in the socket and is easy to engage or disengage.

Non Binding Freedom - The Fireball's ball and socket connection allows the ultimate freedom in kite position. No resistance or friction where ever the kite is flying.

Instantly upgrades any harness - Transform any harness to work with Cabrinha's Fireball system using the specially made spreader bar.

Easy Security Activation - Cabrinha's 1X security system is a push-away system that instantly flags out the kite on one of the front lines.

2.9 Second Re-connection - Quick and easy reload of the push-away safety system. No PhD needed; insert the pin through the loop, lift then lower the push-away handle and you're good to go.

Integrated Safety - Traditional chickenloop and different shaped spreader bars can't guarantee the security system will work every time all the time. Cabrinha's Fireball system in connection with the specially designed spreader bar ensure a safe connection and flagout.

Never Foul Hook - Fireball's ball and socket joint will connect the same way every time. No more chickenloop rotating or coming unhooked if tension on the front lines is lost when launching or in flight.

Purpose Built - Fireball is the new frontier of connection between kite and rider, built specifically for kiteboarding rather than repurposing the hook and loop connection from windsurfing.

Carbon fibers are ultra light and at the same time extremely strong. This material is very dynamic and it returns instantly to its original shape after being stressed, which provides loads of pop in carbon fiber boards.

CNC Shaped Wood Core - Core is one of the most essential elements in every kiteboard, therefore we choose only the finest selection wood cores for all CrazyFly kiteboards. To have precisely shaped cores of highest quality, we are using a CNC machine to cut the outline and drill holes of all cores.

Multiaxial Fiber Glass - Due to multiaxial fibers the board has more flex in torsion and still remains very strong, as the fibers reinforce the board in multiple directions.

Light Up Sidewalls - Yet another innovation from CrazyFly designers on all twin tip boards. The Light Up rails are transparent and literally light up when the sun shines in. These high-tech urethane side walls are a synergy of two polymers directly bonded with the wood core. As a result, Synergy side walls have extremely high impact and abrasive resistance. Due to our innovative production process, Synergy side walls are second to none when it comes to durability and performance on the water.

Razor fins - These fins are Razor sharp. We have designed them with very thin profile to cut easily through water, prevent drag and make the boards faster.

2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite

Read more on what Crazyfly says about the 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite

The 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite is a versatile all-around performer, suitable for a wide range of riders and styles. It delivers consistency in all riding disciplines and offers incredible wind range and ease of use. We have completely re-worked the 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite, as it is now made in our own factory in Europe, which opened up unlimited options for improvements and innovation. Shape wise, the 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite now has a higher aspect ratio, which makes the kite slimmer and much faster. This also results in a more Delta shape which offers smooth, stable, and predictable flight with progressive power delivery. By challenging traditional kite construction, we came up with numerous innovations and improvements on the 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite. Starting with the canopy material, we use the latest Double Ripstop. The new Double Ripstop is lighter, has the same tearing strength in all directions, and allows 30% less air through itself. This means that the same surface area of the new Double Ripstop catches a lot more air, which results in more power and much longer hangtime.

On the 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite wingtips of the canopy, we introduced a brand new United Dacron Panel technology. This revolutionary feature increases the kite’s rigidity and reactivity allowing for better flight experience. Every seam on the kite eventually gets stretched over time, especially in the area which is being pulled by the backlines the most. So, instead of using multiple Dacron panels, we used a single United Dacron Panel in this area. The reactions of the kite are noticeably quicker and the quick reactions do not fade over time. The connection of the canopy to the inflated base of the kite is more precise and stronger than ever. We moved the strut connection points on the leading edge much closer to the canopy. This is tedious work, but the canopy now precisely follows the profile of the strut and ensures much more efficient airflow. Another upgrade this year is the Synergy Strut Bond. Instead of a traditional single attachment seam, we connected the strut to the canopy with two parallel seams, creating the ultimate synergy between the strut and the kite. This synergy noticeably improved how the kite generates power during turns and kiteloops and how it holds its shape during flight.

On the 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kites inflated frame, we narrowed down the number of leading edge panels by nearly 50% on all our kites. Because the material itself is always stronger than a seam, having less panels and less seams results in the most precise and the strongest leading edge till date. Towards the wingtips, a brand new Swept Leading Edge Seam is moved higher towards the canopy where it has less influence on airflow. This allows for higher aerodynamic efficiency and more precisely controlled kite. The 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite received a brand new Linked Bridle, which does not have pulleys nor sliders and consists of only interconnected bridle lines. The bridle lines are connected to the leading edge and to each other only via loop ends ensuring the bridle always stays connected. The Linked Bridle creates a direct link between the rider and the kite, resulting in faster kite reactions and more precise handling. The Linked Bridle is also much more durable than conventional bridles, as it reduces bridle line movement and abrasion to minimum. Overall, by completely reworking the construction of the 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite, the kite is much more rigid and more durable than ever before. With the brand new construction and exploiting different ways of printing, we managed to save 10% of weight again. This is 0,5kg weight saving on a 12m kite which noticeably extends the wind range of the kite. The 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite raves with improvements and innovation and truly is the best Sculp we have ever made. The 2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite - One world, one kite.

2017 Crazyfly Sculp Kite Features

Swept Leading Edge Seam - By challenging the traditional kite construction for improvements, we came up with the swept leading edge seam. The leading edge seam on the wingtips of the kite is swept higher towards the canopy where it has less influence on airflow. This allows for higher aerodynamic efficiency and more precisely controlled kite.

Dacron Shields - Brand new this year, we introduced large Dacron shields to reinforce stress joint areas on the kite and also to protect these areas from wear. Unlike 3D shaped plastic protectors which are not aerodynamic, the Dacron Shields are snug and allow for efficient airflow. Dacron is highly resistant to abrasion and increases the kite’s durability.

United Dacron Panel - This revolutionary feature increases the kite’s rigidity and reactivity allowing for better flight experience. Every seam on the kite gets stretched over time, especially in the stressed area pulled by the backlines. So, instead of using multiple Dacron panels, we used a single United Dacron Panel. The reactions of the kite are noticeably quicker and they do not fade over time.

Synergy Strut Bond - Another upgrade this year is the Synergy Strut Bond, in other words, how the struts connects to the canopy of the kite. Instead of a single attachment seam, we connected the strut to the canopy with two parallel seams, creating the ultimate synergy between the strut and the kite. This synergy noticeably improved how the kite generates power during turns and kiteloops and how it holds its shape during flight.

Sinusoid Trailing Edge - This year, we have completely re-designed the trailing edge. Instead of using a straight stripe of extra ripstop, we created a much stronger Sinusoid Trailing Edge made from Marcloth. The sinusoid shape evenly spreads tension and reduces flap. This results in a much stronger and more solid trailing edge.

Arptex - Arptex sits at the top of abrasion resistant polyamide textiles. This high tech fabric made in Italy can handle plenty of abuse without getting damaged. The official number is 100 000 contacts with abrasive surface before the material starts deteriorating. This is why we selected Arptex as the most suitable material to protect CrazyFly kites in the most abused areas.

Linked Bridle - Brand new for 2017 kites, the Linked Bridle does not have any pulleys nor sliders. It creates a direct link between the rider and the kite, resulting in faster kite reactions and more controlled handling. The Linked Bridle is also much more durable than conventional bridles, as it reduces bridle line movement and abrasion to minimum.

Two in One Leading Edge - We narrowed down the number of panels by nearly 50% on all our kites. Because the material itself is always stronger than a seam, having less panels and less seams results in a much stronger leading edge. Less seams also increase precision of the leading edge shape, as seams can cause a small misalignment. The two in one leading edge is the most precise and the strongest leading edge till date.

Strut End Protection - The strut ends are one of the most abused areas, mainly when carrying the kite inflated on the beach, or during self launches. The strut ends are strategically reinforced with Arptex material, which sits at the top of abrasion resistant polyamide textiles.

Strut Junction - We have completely changed how the strut is connected to the leading edge. The connection is now stronger, cleaner and straighter without unwanted material folds, which cause quicker wear. The whole junction is reinforced with Arptex material for ultimate strength and durability.

Soft Leading Edge End - Towards the end, the leading edge diameter has been optimized and decreases to prevent the bladder slipping out of the kite under pressure. The inside of the leading edge end is lined with a softer version of Arptex to create a cushion for the bladder and prevent any damage to the bladder during a kite crash. On the outside the Leading Edge Ends are protected with Arptex, the latest abrasion resistant polyamide textile from Italy.

Wingtip Elbow - The Wingtip Elbow construction is stronger than ever with brand new Dacron reinforcements on the inside and Marcloth lining on the outside. Plus, the Swept Leading Edge Seam is placed in the direction in which the elbow was bending the most. These factors minimize the elbow movement, so the kite is more compact, has higher aerodynamic efficiency and better handling.

Light Weight Zipper - Unlike on other kites, we selected a slimmer Lightweight Zipper covered with webbing to prevent sand from getting stuck into the zipper. This results in flawless function of the zipper, saves weight on the kite and overall looks much cleaner than a big heavy uncovered plastic zipper.

Built-in Pump Leash - The Pump Leash is one piece with the central strut reinforcement. Instead of sewing the pump leash on the kite separately, which creates a point of weakness on the leading edge, we opted for creating the pump leash from the central strut reinforcement.

Double Ripstop - The most technologically advanced ripstop material for a kite canopy. This high density polyester yarn provides for ultra light weight, high tearing strength and long lasting durability. This year, the Double Ripstop has a brand new coating which increases strength by 30% and minimizes stretching of the material. The new Double Ripstop is lighter, has the same tearing strength in all directions, and allows 30% less air through itself.

Turbo Inflate Deflate - All CrazyFly kites are equipped with Turbo inflate/deflate valve. Inflation and deflation of the kite are made through the same valve. The kite is fully inflated and deflated in seconds. This year, the Turbo valve has a new cover made from Arptex, which does not intake water and does not add weight to the kite.

One Pump System - The One Pump System allow for quicker and easier inflation and deflation of the kite and ensure even pressure distribution throughout the kite. The valves are made from the highest quality material available and are manufactured in Europe. Brand new this year, the one pump hose clips are covered with Arptex, which unlike Neoprene does not intake water which reduces weight.

CNC Cutting & Sewing - CNC controlled laser cutting ensures maximum precision of all kite panels and results in accurate kite shapes. CNC controlled laser cutting also reduces waste of offcut material. CNC sewing is used for critical and difficult seams on all CrazyFly kites. This technology eliminates human error and enables perfection to be repeated on every seam.

Marcloth Fusion Lining - Our engineers use Marcloth to strengthen all areas where the heavy duty kite frame materials meet the lightweight canopy. Marcloth is a mid-weight high strength fabric, ideal to create the ultimate fusion between the higher weight and lighter weight fabrics. All transitions between the frame and canopy are in round shapes, rather than sharp angles and straight lines, as the round shapes spread tension more evenly. Of course, this increases the durability of the kite.

Snow & Sand Protectors - The Snow & Sand Protectors on the leading edge protect the kite from damage caused by dragging the kite on snow or land when launching or relaunching the kite.

Back Lines Tuning - There are three back line settings on the wingtip of the kite. These allow the rider to tune the kite to his or her preferences. The fast back line set up provides the quickest turning of the kite and the lightest bar pressure. On the medium setting the kite still turns relatively quickly and there is more load on the bar. On the slow setting the kite turns noticeably slower and the bar pressure is high.

2017 Crazyfly Sick Bar

Read more on what Crazyfly says about the 2017 Crazyfly Sick Bar

The 2017 Crazyfly Sick Bar is a state of the art control system blending together safety, comfort, durability and simplicity. With safety being the top priority, the Sick bar has a single front line flag out. It ensures 100% collapse of the kite in all situations when the safety is triggered. The Sick Click push away quick release conforms to the French safety norm AFNOR NF S52-503. It can be easily triggered with low force in all conditions. Re-loading the Sick Click system is fast and easy, even in difficult conditions. The 2017 Crazyfly Sick Bar can be used in two safety modes: standard and suicide. The standard safety mode provides 100% safety in all situations. We strongly recommend to use the standard safety mode. The suicide modes should only be used by experts, because it does not offer full depower of the kite when losing the bar.

In 2016 we introduced a brand new premium leather grip for unmatched comfort and long lasting durability. The swivel is integrated under the bar, where it is easy and comfortable to reach for untwisting the front lines after a rotational trick or a kite loop. Making things simple and clean, we covered the safety line and the center line in a PU tube. The PU tube prevents all wear and tear of the central line and allows for smooth sheeting and handling of the kite. The depower trim cleat is strategically placed above the bar, where it is easy to reach for making adjustments on the go.

For unmatched comfort and durability, the bar itself has a full carbon construction, making it one of the strongest and lightest bars on the market. CrazyFly exclusive, the 2017 Crazyfly Sick Bar is the first and only bar made 100% in Europe in the CrazyFly factory and made only from European materials and components. The 2017 Crazyfly Sick Bar is topped with high quality Liros Dyneema flying lines made in Germany. The lines are pre-stretched with a heavy load, ensuring no further elongation of the lines. Dark grey color of the lines makes them clearly visible when setting up the kite in snow. The 2017 Crazyfly Sick Bar is packed with all the great features, yet still comfortable and safe to use.

This means that the same surface area of the new Double Ripstop catches a lot more air, which results in more power and much longer hangtime.

On the 2017 Crazyfly Tango Kite wingtips of the canopy, we introduced a brand new United Dacron Panel technology. This revolutionary feature increases the kite’s rigidity and reactivity allowing for better flight experience. Every seam on the kite eventually gets stretched over time, especially in the area which is being pulled by the backlines the most. So, instead of using multiple Dacron panels, we used a single United Dacron Panel in this area. The reactions of the kite are noticeably quicker and the quick reactions do not fade over time. The connection of the canopy to the inflated base of the kite is more precise and stronger than ever. We moved the strut connection points on the leading edge much closer to the canopy. This is tedious work, but the canopy now precisely follows the profile of the strut and ensures much more efficient airflow. Another upgrade this year is the Synergy Strut Bond. Instead of a traditional single attachment seam, we connected the strut to the canopy with two parallel seams, creating the ultimate synergy between the strut and the kite. This synergy noticeably improved how the kite generates power during turns and kiteloops and how it holds its shape during flight.

On the 2017 Crazyfly Tango Kites inflated frame, we narrowed down the number of leading edge panels by nearly 50% on all our kites. Because the material itself is always stronger than a seam, having less panels and less seams results in the most precise and the strongest leading edge till date. Towards the wingtips, a brand new Swept Leading Edge Seam is moved higher towards the canopy where it has less influence on airflow. This allows for higher aerodynamic efficiency and more precisely controlled kite. The 2017 Crazyfly Tango Kite received a brand new Linked Bridle, which does not have pulleys nor sliders and consists of only interconnected bridle lines. The bridle lines are connected to the leading edge and to each other only via loop ends ensuring the bridle always stays connected. The Linked Bridle creates a direct link between the rider and the kite, resulting in faster kite reactions and more precise handling. The Linked Bridle is also much more durable than conventional bridles, as it reduces bridle line movement and abrasion to minimum. Overall, by completely reworking the construction of the 2017 Crazyfly Tango Kite, the kite is much more rigid and more durable than ever before. With the brand new construction and exploiting different ways of printing, we managed to save 10% of weight again. This is 0,5kg weight saving on a 12m kite which noticeably extends the wind range of the kite. The 2017 Crazyfly Tango Kite raves with improvements and innovation and truly is the best Tango we have ever made. The 2017 Crazyfly Tango Kite – anything you want.
